1833: In about 24 hours time we will know who this year's Formula One champion will be. Qualifying has set up a magnificent front and second row and the race and destiny of the title could be decided in the first few laps.

Excited? Come back to the website on Sunday for the ultimate finale.

1829: Ferrari look to be very quick just like last year. And I think it will be Ferrari one-two tomorrow, will be difficult to beat them. But third or fourth place will not be bad for Hamilton to clinch his first title. Will be difficult for Alonso to beat Hamilton and Ferraris as he starts in fourth behind them. GO ON LEWIS!Ninad_13 on 606

1828: "It's ok for Hamilton, I don't like idea of Ferrari controlling the race through Massa but he will want to win his home gp"ShootTheRunner on 606

Pick of the quotes:

Hamilton (second on grid): "I enjoyed the qualifying session. The car was great to drive. It was a very good second flying lap. I lost a little time on the final corner but it wasn't a mistake, I just didn't want to lose what I had."

Massa (on pole): "It's a great feeling to be on pole back in my home country. I had a good first flying lap and I was a little bit afraid Lewis would beat me on the second one. The atmopshere here is always great. We had a fantastic weekend last year so hopefully we can repat that."

Raikkonen (third on grid): "On my first flying lap I didn't get the tyres working but the second attempt was better. I will have a good race car for Sunday."

1805: What do we make of this?

For Hamilton: He said it didn't really matter whether he claimed pole or not. He didn't claim pole. But he's on the front row and the psychological advantage of finishing ahead of his rivals is massive.

For Alonso: Didn't look great. Resigned to losing the title? Maybe.

For Raikkonen: The Ferraris have looked good all weekend. Will be buoyed by the team effort but will need a miracle to take the title away from McLaren.

1804: "I'm drained but OK. I'm resigned to the fact it's been a fantastic year. It's brilliant."Great stream of consciousness from Lewis Hamilton's father Anthony on BBC 5live Sports Extra

1757: Fernando Alonso is only fifth fastest. Not good for the Spaniard. Team-mate and championship leader Lewis Hamilton is second quickest with Felipe Massa in pole at the moment. Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen is third. It's a thriller.

1753: All the drivers are coming in to change their tyres - most are on the super softs. Get ready for the big laps.

1751: Fuel loads are getting lighter. All the drivers are waiting to do their big lap.

1750: "Ferraris on form suits me. Gives Lewis more of a chance of winning the title."VirtualDrLeeroy via 606

1748: Lewis Hamilton has gone fastest on the softer tyres. Second fastest is the hot Pole Robert Kubica followed by Kimi Raikkonen. Fernando Alonso is fifth fastest at the moment.

1746: They're off, led by Hamilton.

1745: "Hamilton just needs to play it cool. He does not need to push hard to win the championship."Ninad via 606

1743: This is it guys. All the drivers are waiting in their cockpits. It's 31C. You can hear the humming of the cars.

1740: After Q2, these are the guys who didn't make the top 10: Rubens Barrichello, Giancarlo Fisichella, Sebastian Vettel, Vitantonio Liuzzi, Ralf Schumacher, Jenson Button.

1735: Good effort from the BMW Saubers of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld. In fifth and seventh respectively.

1729: Raikkonen goes quickest so far in his Ferrari in Q2. Hamilton, Alonso and Massa should be easily into the final round with their times.

1726: It's taken about four minutes for a car to come out for Q2. It's Ralf Schumacher in his Toyota. Hamilton, Alonso and Massa follow him.

1721: "Come on Lewis you can do it, keep cool and the world is yours"Griffo on 606

1717: Miss World-style, here are the ones who didn't make the top 16 and will occupy the back of the grid: Heikki Kovalainen, Takuma Sato, Kazumi Nakajima, Anthony Davidson, Adrian Sutil and Sakon Yamamoto.

Fernando Alonso had a late burst and finished quickest after the first session of qualifying. McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton was second fastest with his other title rival Kimi Raikkonen in fifth place.

1715: Not much time left for those wanting to make the top 16 for the next session.

1714: But the Ferrari's have gone the fastest. We are reaching the end of the session. Alonso is only eighth fastest. I reckon he's having some problems in his McLaren.

1711: Hamilton's gone fastest. He's in the mood - 1:13.033.

1706: Ralf Schumacher has eased to 1:14.256. He's the fastest so far.

1704: Adrian Sutil has stopped after having posted the fastest time. What's up with his Spyker?

1655: It's a gorgeous day in Sao Paulo - and hot.I'd like to say that I'm actually there, but, alas, I'm not. W12 in London is sunny too, but not really hot.

1652: "The entire F1 watching world will be on the edge of their seats tomorrow. The race being late in the day is just torture. "Anon via text

1642: I love this knockout style qualifying. It's a bit like Miss World after the swimsuit section.

1627: "I'm getting bullied at work for looking like lewis hamilton! And the weird thing is we both share the same surname! Cmon Lewis! Make England proud! "Dan via text

I get all sorts Dan.

1623: Not long before qualifying. We grow ever closer to finding out who will be the boss of Interlagos.

1617: "Let's all enjoy Interlagos we haven't had a closer title race since back in 86 when the Prof took victory and our very own Nigel Mansell, who i thought had the title wrapped up, had a spectaular tyre blow out. I just hope Lewis doesn't have the same fate."Rickardo0o0 on 606

I guess I'll take the final part of your text as a compliment.

1459: ...1:11.934. He probably realised hanging around in 13th wouldn't help his cred.

1457: Can they go any quicker? Yes they can. Well, Massa can. He's posted 1:11.810 in his Ferrari. Fastest time of the weekend. Team-mate Raikkonen has done his 2.677 miles in 1:11.942. And Lewis Hamilton has just set...

1454: There are five drivers in the 1:12s - Massa, Raikkonen, Alonso, Fisichella and Webber. Where's Lewis? In 13th. I'm assuming he's taking it easy.

1453: "Love the details on the web site but how can massa be quicker 1.13.653 when 12 mins earlier he had done 1.12.802." pitbull via text

1424: "I know its only practice and all drivers are just doing installation laps, but i'm looking at the timing screens and lewis was pushing through the middle sector very quickly. The boy knows nothing but going fast. Good luck lewis, the country's behind you"Drew via text

1422: "Hi Brazilian here. It is strange but I have not read much about Hamilton being a Senna fan in the press but 'the Globo' did do an interesting piece where various Brazilian racing drivers were interviewed over their thoughts on the race, most believed that Hamilton would be a very worthy champ but would like Massa to win the race for the local fans."Marcus H via text

1419: Kimi has come out in his Ferrari and has raced to the top of the chart - 1:13.011. It will be interesting to see how the Ferraris go in qualifying.

1343: And also if there is anybody over in Brazil reading this then tell me about how the build-up has been reported over in your country? What do you think of Massa? And Hamilton has stated Ayrton Senna is his hero. How do the Brazilians view Hamilton?

1337: "Hamilton has not been let off, it was the teams mistake and not his so he personal has no reason to be punished!" Skully via text

1315: "Let's hope this McLaren does win"Former England midfielder Chris Waddle with a bit of satirical mixing of football and F1 on BBC 5live. Classy.

1313: "I hope the british lad does it, I'm not F1 fan as such but good to see any uk sportsman win something major, is there a standard punishment for this tyre infringment?"JB 1973 on 606

I'm not too hot on my tyre-infringement laws. But here's a link to the FIA Regulations. Enjoy.

Lewis Hamilton has sent his message of support and also took time out to pose with a rugby ball. Publicity shots at their finest

"I just want to say to you all - keep your heads down and stay focused as there's a lot of pressure on you but it's the same here for me in Brazil," he said.

1251: "Yet again Hamilton has been let off with "faux pas" why bother running the race just hand him the title on a silver platter" jac a sickened lifelong fan via text

1247: I mentioned below it takes Hamilton one minute and 12 seconds to get round 2.677 miles. Why don't you give me a shout as to what you can do in one minute and 12 seconds. Keep it clean kids - it's a family website.

1243: "If Nakajima proves himself this weekend, he could find himself in a full-time racing seat next year."F1FootieWWE on 606

1238: The Interlagos track is 2.677 miles long. On Friday it took Lewis Hamilton one minute and 12 seconds to get round. That's quite fast.
